Review – ‘Mr. Serious’ by Danica Winters

Blurb

Waylon Fitzgerald had a
life of adventure all planned out--one that did not include returning
to his family's ranch to bring his missing ex-wife into custody for
murder. With so much bad blood between them, the sexy military police
officer understands why his ex's sister, Christina Bell, hates him. And
yet he and Christina spark a sizzling attraction.

What changes
everything for Waylon is Winnie, Christina's adorable ward...and the
startling revelation that he's her father. When she goes missing--her
mother a killer at large--Waylon's world is upended. Will he redeploy to
follow his passions around the world...or stay where his heart has
found an unexpected Christmas present?

Review

In the second
book in the Mystery Christmas series, Waylon Fitzgerald comes home to Montana
to search for missing ex-wife, Alli. As a military policeman at Fort Bragg, he
knows a thing or two about investigations but the first thing he does when he
arrives at his family’s ranch is anger Christina Bell, Alli’s sister and a
woman’s he’s never met.

Christina is
hurt, angry, and confused over her sister’s actions. Alli killed two people in
the previous book and now she’s on the run from the police. Before Alli left,
she entrusted Winnie, her adorable two-year-old daughter, to Christina. When
she and Waylon team up to look for Alli, Christina knows she needs to tell him
the truth that Winnie is Waylon’s daughter. The entire Fitzgerald family knows
it, but the sexy MP has no idea. As the clues lead to answers they didn’t
expect, the most important person in Christina’s world—and Waylon’s—goes
missing in the wilds of a snowy Montana ranch.

I really
liked Waylon. He’s protective, goal-oriented, and he knows what he wants. I
liked Christina for the most part, but her protectiveness toward her lying,
murderous sister annoyed me a little. Though tension and false assumptions threatened
to wedge between Christina and Waylon, they have great chemistry and the love
that built between them was quick but believable.

I didn’t
expect the twist at the end, and I absolutely loved it, but I don’t understand
how Alli and Lisa knew each other. I wish there would’ve been a scene with
Waylon telling Winnie he’s her dad. It would’ve been totally sweet and
heartwarming.

Anyway, I
liked this story a lot and I’d love to read the third book in the series.
Colter is introduced, and he definitely seems like a sexy man I would like to
get to know better.

About Me

Amber
Daulton lives her life by that one belief even though she normally isn’t so
Zen.

As a fan of contemporary, paranormal, and historical romance novels
alike, she can’t get enough of feisty heroines and alpha heroes. Her mind is a
wonderland of adventure, laughter, and awesome ways of kicking a guy when he’s
down. She probably wouldn’t be too sane without her computer and notebooks.
After all, what’s a girl to do when people are jabbering away in her head, and
it’s hard to shut them up? Write! Nothing else works.
